SYMPTOMSYou cannot insert a FORM field in a Word header or footer. CAUSE
By design, Word prevents you from adding a FORM field to a header or footer
because subdocuments are inaccessible while a document is protected for
forms. (To protect a document for forms, choose the Protect Document
command from the Tools menu, select the Forms option, and then choose OK.)
MORE INFORMATIONWord prevents you from inserting a FORM field in a subdocument with either of the following methods: choosing the Form Field command on the Insert menu and pasting a FORM field from the Clipboard. On the other hand, Word does not prevent you from inserting a FORM field in a header or footer (or other subdocument) by using either the AutoCorrect or AutoText command. However, Word does not activate FORM fields you insert using these methods and does not move to them when you protect the document for forms. This means that a FORM field in a header or footer has no functionality once you protect the document for forms.
